The Sts. Peter and St. Paul Church (Polish: Kościół św. Piotra i Pawła; German: St.-Peter-und-Paul-Kirche) is a Brick Gothic Polish Old Catholic parish church in Szczecin, Poland, within the Downtown district. It is placed at 4 and 5 Sts. Peter and Paul Square, at the corner of Castle Route and Tadeusz Mazowiecki Street, within the neighbourhood of Old Town. The first wooden church was built at the location in 1124, being founded by Otto of Bamberg as a seat of a Roman Catholic parish. A new brick church was built in its place in 1425, and in 1534, the parish denomination was changed to the Lutheranism. The building was destroyed in 1677 by the artillery bombardment, while the city was under a siege during the Scanian War. It was rebuilt in 1702. Since 1945, the building is the seat of the parish of St. Peter and St. Paul, belonging to the Polish-Catholic Church in the Republic of Poland. The parish is dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul, who, in the Christian theology, were the apostles who spread the teachings of Jesus Christ in the first-century AD. Saint Peter was also the first Pope, the leader of the Catholic Church.
